Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials made from polymers that can be molded or pressed into various solid objects due to their plasticity. Plastics are widely used because they are lightweight, durable, flexible and inexpensive to produce. Most plastics are derived from fossil fuels like natural gas or petroleum, though some newer plastics use renewable materials such as corn or cotton.

2. • Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that
use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible
for plastics to be moulded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of
various shapes. This adaptability, plus a wide range of other
properties, such as being lightweight, durable, flexible, and
inexpensive to produce, has led to its widespread use. Plastics
typically are made through human industrial systems. Most modern
plastics are derived from fossil fuel-based chemicals like natural
gas or petroleum; however, recent industrial methods use variants
made from renewable materials, such as corn or cotton
